Women's Merino Wool Bolero Shrug from China
A lightweight, cropped bolero shrug knitted from merino wool, worn over other garments for women. It qualifies under HTS 6114.90.05.40 as an other knitted garment of fine animal hair, not a full-coverage shirt or ensemble component. Short length and open-front design exclude it from suit or blouse headings.

Import Tips
• Include knit gauge documentation (stitch count) to prove compliance with Chapter 61 knitted definitions
• Separate from sets; if bundled with skirts, reclassify as ensemble under notes if matching fabric
• Test for shrinkage per AATCC standards; non-compliant wool knits may face quality holds
